“Valeria took excellent care of our two dogs! She was very communicative and our dogs seemed to have a great time with her. She also left our home in great condition, which we really appreciate. We would certainly recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit for us again.”
About: I grew up with dogs as big as Saint Bernards, currently have a cat who is the love of my life, and have always gravitated towards the pet at the function. I feel that patience is the most important trait to have. With 15+ years of experience pet sitting/house sitting, I am generally the friend who is designated for this in the group and has often been recommended to strangers. Reliable, personal transport. I don't smoke or drink. Many years of commercial/home cleaning experience as well, making me a professional in your sacred space! I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability for you and your pet. There is flexibility so just let me know your needs/requests! I take the safety and comfort of your fur baby very seriously and make it my first priority. On dog walks I carry pepper spray and water and stay vigilant for other dog walkers. For cats I stay extremely careful with doors and windows to make sure they don't escape and monitor any catio excursions. I understand your fur babies are a part of the family and the actual lights of this life. I want to make sure you rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy while they are missing you!
“Kristen was a great sitter for my special needs pup. She stayed with her all weekend and was attentive to an injury she had experienced before our trip. She left the house very tidy and spotless.”
“Jennifer is beyond communicative and helpful with my old guy. Knowing she was caring for Rex allowed me to relax and feel comfortable while leaving Rex alone. Highly recommend Jennifer!! Very responsive and sends lots of pictures”
“Jodi was amazing.She came and met all the pets and was eager to learn about their care. She is easy to communicate with and sent pictures when she was here. She seemed to really care about my fur babies I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Overall, great experience working with Bill. Communicative and easy to work with. Took great care of both my dog and cat at our home. We felt comfortable while we were in California for the holidays knowing our furry loved ones are comfortable at our home with Bill. They were taken care of and loved. We will be using him every time her on out.”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities. I currently have two cats of my own and also take care of my friends' pets, including an older cat who needs daily medication, so I'm used to following routines closely and giving medication when needed. I know dogs do best when their day feels normal, so I'll stick to your dog's usual feeding times, walks, and potty breaks. Whether your dog is full of energy or a little nervous around new people, I'll take the time to let them get comfortable with me. If they want to play, we'll play, and if they'd rather relax on the couch, that works for me too. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available for last minute trips and longer stays, and your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'll send photo updates every day and take care of your home like it's my own. I'd love to meet you and your pup before your trip! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I start each morning feeding Leo and Winston and cleaning their litter boxes, and they get playtime and attention throughout the day. I also help care for two of my friends' cats, including an older cat who needs medication on a regular schedule, so keeping track of feeding times, meds, and routines comes naturally to me. Since my schedule is flexible, I can easily build my day around the pets I'm caring for. That means meals on time, regular play and attention, and plenty of company so they never feel alone for long. For now I only offer care in your home, which I think is the best option for most pets anyway. They get to stay in a familiar place with their own beds, toys, and routines, which keeps their stress low while you're away. When I'm staying in your home, I'll follow your pet's usual schedule for meals, medication, walks, litter, and playtime as closely as possible. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to keep up with their crate routine too. I'll keep fresh water out, clean up after them, and spend plenty of time with them so they have company. I'll also take care of the little things around the house like bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything is locked up. I'll send daily photo updates so you always know how your pets are doing.
“Alex was absolutely wonderful watching my pups for a week while we were out of the country. She was very attentive to their many medical needs, respectful of my house, and great with communication, updates, & photos of my boys. Thank you Alex!!”
“Jocelyn was awesome, my pup had a great time! She sent plenty of photos and updates and was very quick to respond. She also helped out with bringing any packages in off the porch. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, from childhood right through to today. Right now I share my home with a spunky cattle dog mix (iris) and a cat (ghost) who are truly my whole world, so I understand how much your pet means to you. I've also worked as a vet tech (uncertified), which means I'm comfortable handling medications, noticing when something seems off, and staying calm if anything unexpected comes up. Your pet will be in hands that know what they're doing. I'm very active and love being outdoors. Hiking and camping are my favorite ways to spend time, so if your pup needs long walks, lots of playtime, or just a buddy with energy to match, we'll get along great. I'm just as happy to keep a calmer pet company with a cozy, quiet routine. I'd love to meet your pet and hear all about what makes them happy. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Active, outdoorsy sitter with Vet experience! I work part-time from home, so my schedule is flexible and pets aren't left alone for long stretches. My days are already built around caring for my own dog and cat, with morning and evening feedings, daily walks, and lots of playtime, so adding another pet fits right in. I'm very active, so getting outside for walks and hikes is part of my everyday routine anyway. On weekends I love being outdoors, which means plenty of exercise and adventure for dogs who enjoy it. In your home, I'll follow your pet's normal routine for meals, walks, medications, and playtime so they feel secure while you're away. I also don't mind if they like to sleep at night right next to me for cuddles! I treat your home with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I'll also take care of the little things like bringing in mail or watering plants if you'd like. My vet tech background means I'm comfortable giving medications and I watch closely for any changes in appetite, energy, or behavior. I send regular photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
“Memory was incredible! She was very attentive to the pups and their needs. Went above and beyond in their care, as well as communication with me. She left the house cleaner than how she found it. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: ’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and a routine that keeps them comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible and always send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to care for them! It fits very well into my routine! I am in school only 20 minutes from my apartment and have a lot of space in between my school schedule. I am very flexible! I can easily care for your pet! I have a dog park in my apartment complex and a big field for your pets to run around. There are lakes and plenty of walking areas nearby.
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including more than 35 years as a devoted cat dad and several seasons as a dog parent as well. My experience also includes volunteer work at the Denver Zoo and local animal shelters, where I provided calm, reliable care in diverse and often demanding environments. For the past decade, I’ve walked dogs through area shelters, supporting pups of every age, size, and temperament. From energetic adolescents to seniors who need a slower, steadier pace, I adjust accordingly. I focus on being fully present, patient, and attuned to each animal’s personality. Every pet in my care receives grounded, attentive support that helps them feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected. I’m currently on leave from my full‑time job, which means I have wide availability for both daytime walks and longer‑term care. Whether you need multiple walking stints throughout the day or extended stays and overnight support, I’m able to be fully present and attentive. Your pet gets calm, consistent care and a dependable routine while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover, I care for your pet with real intention by tuning into their energy, their personality, and the quiet ways they communicate. I connect deeply with the soul of each animal I meet, and I take the time to understand their unique characteristics so their care feels personal, comforting, and truly aligned with who they are. I’m committed to giving your pet the kind of presence and attention that helps them feel safe and understood. I also make sure you feel just as supported as their parent. I provide regular updates, thoughtful notes, and plenty of pictures so you always know how they’re doing and how dedicated I am to their wellbeing. Your pet’s experience matters, and so does your peace of mind and I show that through consistent communication, grounded care, and genuine connection.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arvada
Nicole was fantastic. She was so communicative and gave great updates throughout the dogsitting stay. She also came a couple days earlier than planned at the last minute bc of a family emergency that we had come up. We really appreciate her flexibility! We’ll definitely keep booking Nicole!
McKenzie was great! She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated about my Dog. My dog was also a big fan, and he is often indifferent with sitters. He spent his time downstairs enjoying life with Mckenzie, rather than sulking upstairs. Highly recommend! Thanks so much!!!
Raven was amazing!! We used her while we were going out of the country, and unfortunately, the day before we left, our dog was attacked by another dog and had to undergo surgery. We were so stressed about leaving her after everything that happened, but Raven immediately made us feel so much better and reassured us that our pets were in great hands. She sent us lots of updates throughout our trip, gave our dog her medications, and even kept an eye on her stitches for us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Raven was there taking such great care of her while we were away. We would 100% use Raven again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets!!
Meaghan is one of the absolute best sitters we’ve ever had. She is kind, communicative and so, so great with our dogs. We appreciate her so much, and are so grateful for the love and care she gives our pups. She takes wonderful care of our home and our pets, and we feel so lucky to have found her!!
Joanna was such a huge help to me and my partner. She accommodated a fairly last minute request and helped ease my mind during a weekend away. I appreciated the photo and video updates, great communication, and her commitment to maintaining my pup’s routine. I would absolutely book Joanna again!
Ericha was very sweet with our Roo! This was our first time using the Rover app. So she was very helpful letting us know what she all needed to have a successful experience. She sent great updates and pictures! We will definitely be using her in the future☺️
We loved having Laura stay at our place and care for our pico girl! She was so responsive and helpful especially right after our cat had surgery. We were so nervous to leave our cat after surgery but Laura made us feel so much better. She was comfortable giving meds as well as keeping an extra eye on her. Will book again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Arvada is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $80 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Arvada walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Arvada maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arvada choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
